We are living through the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Babies, pregnant women, the elderly, men, women, little girls and boys.
I will never be unable to unsee the murdered children.
The least I can do is watch, weep, and share the truth. This is not conflict. This is not war. This is genocide. The past 80 years of the illegal occupation and constant dehumanisation of the Palestine people has culminated to this.
Keep making dua for the Palestinian people. Please have hope that the help of Allah is near. The existence of such evil is proof that the afterlife is real, where there is no escape from Allah’s Justice.
Droplets of Mercy is a trustworthy site you can donate to support the survivors, on the ground in Gaza.
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The Prophet sent Mu’adh to Yemen and said, “Be afraid, from the curse of the oppressed as there is no screen between his invocation and Allah.”
Sahih Bukhari (Volume 3, Book 43, Number 628)

O Allah, liberate the people of Palestine.
